FRIEND OF ALAN HENNING ALSO ACCUSES BRITISH GOVERNMENT OF INACTION

In addition to the brother-in-law of Alan Henning accusing the British Government of inaction over negotiating the release of Alan, a friend of Alan who was on the same convoy as Alan has also accused the British Government:

The brother-in-law of murdered hostage Alan Henning rounded on the Government yesterday, saying they could have done more to save the aid worker.

Colin Livesey said he was ‘angry’ with Ministers for failing to take more action to secure the release of the father of two when they knew about his capture ‘months and months ago’.

He was speaking after international condemnation of a video released on Friday night that showed the taxi driver from Manchester had been beheaded by a man believed to be British extremist Jihadi John.

...His accusations were echoed by Majid Freeman, 26, a friend of Mr Henning who was on the aid convoy in December when the 47-year-old was seized.

He said: ‘The Government did nothing to help him. They should have secured his release but instead they abandoned him and left him out there.’
